Pulmonary Function Laboratories

Pulmonary Function Labs
Prime Healthcare PC has two pulmonary function labs located within the confines of our offices.  These diagnostic centers enhance the medical practices of our pulmonary specialties by decreasing delay times in diagnosis when sending patients to outside labs.  We offer the following in these two lab locations:

• Complete Pulmonary Function Testing
• Arterial Blood Gas Analysis
• Pulmonary Rehabilitation Services
• Respiration Services

The Pulmonary Function Tests are performed on a diagnostic analyzer. The test is administered and supervised by our Respiratory Therapists who have years of experience and specific training in pulmonary function testing. The test interpretation and clinical direction is provided by our five pulmonologists: John Rodgers MD, William Preskenis MD, David Grise MD, Brett Volpe MD and Tapas Bandyopadhyay, MD.

Pulmonary Function Testing is easy as well as very informative and gives the doctor the opportunity to understand how well or poorly patient’s lungs are functioning. Each test takes approximately one hour and is divided into different “sections” that measure different aspects of lung function. Most of the testing involves blowing into a machine to obtain measurements.
